This is gonna be amazing for work. Got an office to myself alot of the time and usually end up watching the clock for the last hour or so of my shift. Nintendo not lying about working on QoL stuff, heh.

Once again, I think Nintendo shot themselves in the foot with 3rd party as I expect that this system will be under-powered for current gen games. It seems Nintendo doesn't understand that it's not just about 1st party if they really want to be the market leader again. I do think the system and concept are very cool though.

I don't think that Nintendo is directly competing against Sony and Microsoft with this, and they WILL be the leader of the handheld market (just like they are today).

Technology has come to a point that merging handheld and traditional home console lines is perfectly reasonable, especially given Nintendo's strategy in recent years.

Hell, I'm all for a 100% first party system at this point. I've spent far more hours on the WiiU than on the 'bone and PS4 combined this generation.

Pretty much all of my third party gaming is done on the PC. With the gap between console and PC power larger than ever, I'm really having a hard time justifying to myself a reason why I should even bother with XTWO and PS5.

To set your unique account name. It's unclear as of now whether the account name will be displayed publicly or not, but it's better to be safe I guess. Minimum six character limit because Nintendo doesn't give a fuck.

I played it for about 90 minutes. Fell off the tower, now I have this annoying R.I.P. marker on the map. I hate games that track deaths. After 90 minutes, I can honestly say that Horizon was better, in my opinion. That game... Shew. It started off all tropey and shit (shunned plucky girl gonna prove all them uppity tribe people wrong!), and took the hardest right since Metal Gear Solid into one of the most remarkable stories I've ever witnessed. Maybe Zelda will blow me away when comparing shrines to the rather simplistic Cauldrons of HZD.

Different games though I see the comparison. Though if I had to compare the two I would side with you and say Horizon is better.

To address this point, it is only temporary - and it shows only your most recent death (as far as I can tell, the game only keeps track of your most recent death). In some situations it was actually kind of nice, especially before I had unveiled the entire map.
